The Eastern European Influence
Hear some works from Western (and perhaps a few Eastern) musicians inspired by the often odd-metered dances and laments of Eastern Europe on this New Sounds program. The brassy Balkan beats of Romashka together with their Lithuanian-born singer draw on gypsy and folk music from Russia, Romania and the Balkans for a downtown blast of madness. We’ll hear something from them, along with music from the Canadian-Ukranian musicians Paris To Kyiv, and the Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian –American band Zlatne Uste (Golden Lips), as well as prog-folk from the Slovene group Katalena. Plus new music based on ancient Turkish makams from Edward Hines, music by Les Miserables Brass Band, and more.

Away From Jazz
New Sounds
airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.
In Robert Moran's Kitchen
New Sounds
From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
